Detectives continue to appeal for witnesses and information following Monday's murder at Clapham Junction.

37 year old Richard Ward, from Battersea, was
pronounced dead at the scene.
Yesterday's post-mortem at St George's Mortuary gave
cause of death as head injuries.

Police believe that Mr Ward may been assaulted by a
number of suspects on Severus Road SW11 - off St John's Hill - and was then left
by them in a seriously injured state.

An incident room has opened under DCI Cliff Lyons who said: "We would like
to hear from anyone who was in the areaof Severus Road and St John's Hill SW11
between 22:00hrs and midnight. Local people may have seen or heard something
that could help the
investigation.

"We are still trying to establish the circumstances of this incident and
want to hear from anyone who has information."

St John's Hill has now been re-opened and cordons removed.
Severus Road remains cordoned off whilst officers continue to
investigate.

Wandsworth Borough Commander Gerry Campbell said: "We will not tolerate
violence against any person and are aware of the impact this violence
can have on our communities. Our priority is to bring to justice those
responsible for this attack and to prevent any further incidents from
occurring. Wandsworth borough police will be fully supporting this
murder investigation working closely with detectives and reassuring our
local communities."
